I'm currently porting jed and friends (slrn and slsc). Jed has an optional X Windows version called xjed. What is the best way I can detect X so I can take the appropriate action in regard to compiling and installing xjed? USE_X11 doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for. I'm looking for some way to determine whether X11 exists on the system, and if so, pass the info to 'configure'. Any suggestions? FYI, jed is an 8-bit clean extensible emacs/wordstar/EDT lookalike text editor for a wide variety of platforms which supports color. slrn is a gnus lookalike nntp news reader which supports color. slsc is a spreadsheet loosly based on sc which supports color.
